Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu said the unnamed Lagos physician “is one of the doctors who attended to the Liberian Ebola patient who died.”

In addition Chukwu said 70 other people believed to have come into contact with the Liberian were being monitored, with eight placed in quarantine including three who were “symptomatic.”

Upon the discovery of Mr. Sawyer’s death, the WHO deployed a team of experts to Lagos to work with the Federal and State Government teams in putting in place necessary measures to contain the outbreak.

The latest cases puts into question the infection control practices applied, sparking concerns of more possible cases.
